Erogenic stimulator
Abstract
The erogenic stimulator includes a first resilient end region
(phallic) extending from a base and a second resilient bulbous end
region extending therefrom. The bulbous end is connected via a
reduced diameter neck to the base. The base and first and second
ends form a truncated substantially U-shaped stimulator. A concave
suction element is formed on the base in the curved portion of the
U-shape. A passageway may be included from the concave suction
element through the base into which may be inserted either a plug
or a vibratory element. The plug/vibratory element closes the base
end of the passageway thereby permitting expansion and contraction
of the passageway dependent upon a predetermined condition at the
suction opening of the passageway. If the suction element contacts
the skin or an erogenous region and blocks the passageway, the
rocking stimulator suctions and evacuates, alternatively, air
through the suction opening of the passageway.

Description
The present invention relates to an erogenic stimulator with a
suction cup and optionally with an associated chamber for either
suction control or insertion of a vibrating unit.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention pertains to sexual or erogenous stimulation devices
in general and, more particularly, to a self-retained device for
simultaneous use by two sexual partners such that the erotic areas
of both such users are concurrently excited.
GENERAL BACKGROUND
Marital or sexual aids have been known and used throughout the
centuries. Generally, such aids have been designed either for
self-stimulation or for the stimulation of one party only. However,
some aids satisfy two partners at the same time. This latter type
of aid or stimulators is designed primarily for use by a female
user and often incorporates a flexible phallic shaped stimulator
secured to a base. Variations of this type of stimulator include
two such phallic shapes linearly secured to opposite sides of a
common or intermediate flange. Unfortunately, because of the
co-linear nature of these opposite shapes, the simultaneous use of
such a device by two partners requires some gymnastic-like
maneuvers.
Also, it is common for these devices to not be self-retaining, that
is, when one end is retained in the vagina or anal cavity, the
other end is free to stimulate of the other person. Instead, these
devices rely upon a series of straps in order to hold and retain
the device in place on one user for proper use on the other person.
However, fastening such straps prior to use is cumbersome and
discomforting and causes undesirable delay.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,690,603 to Kain discloses a self-retaining
stimulator, that is, when one end is retained in the vagina or anal
cavity, the other end is free to stimulate the other person.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
It is thus an object of the present invention to provide a marital
or sexual aid that is capable of simultaneously stimulating the
erotic areas of both users.
It is a further object of this invention to provide an aid that is
self-retaining such that straps or other holding devices are not
required, thereby eliminating any delay and discomfort.
A further object of this invention is to provide a device that is
capable of being used by partners of the same sex or of the
opposite sex.
Still another object of this invention is to provide a device that
is capable of flexing as needed but which returns to its original
position upon its release.
Yet another object of this invention is to provide an aid that is
smoothly contoured for comfort.
An additional object is to stimulate the clitoris of one of the
users with a suction element during sexual play with the
stimulator.
A further object of the present invention is to develop a suction
chamber which co-acts with the suction element thereby enhancing
the sexual play with the stimulator.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In one embodiment, the erogenic stimulator includes a first
elongated, resilient, cylindrical end region (typically a phallic
shape) with a first end extending from a proximal base end and a
second resilient, cylindrical, bulbous end region also extending
from a proximal base end. The bulbous distal end is connected via a
reduced diameter neck to that base. The base is further connected
to the first end region. The base, the first phallic end and the
second bulbous end extend upwards from the base forming a truncated
substantially U-shaped stimulator. The stimulator includes a
concave suction element on the base in a curved portion of the
truncated U-shape. Other features include: a passageway from that
bottom of the concave suction element through said base, into which
may be inserted either a plug or a vibratory element. The
plug/vibratory element closes the base end of the passageway
thereby permitting expansion and contraction of the passageway
dependent upon a predetermined condition of the suction opening of
the passageway. If the suction element contacts the skin or
erogenous region of one user and the plug/vibratory element blocks
the passageway, a rocking or undulation of the stimulator suctions
and evacuates, alternatively, air through the suction opening of
the passageway. This suction and evacuation of air further
energizes the skin or erogenous region of the user. The base may
have a cut-away for removal of the plug/vibratory element.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The present invention relates to a erogenic stimulator or martial
aid.
Similar numerals designate similar items throughout the drawings
and specification. FIG. 1A diagrammatically illustrates stimulator
10 having a first elongated, resilient and generally cylindrical
end region 12. In the preferred embodiment, end region 12 has a
phallic shape. First end region includes a first distal end 14 and
a first proximal base end generally identified at end portion 16.
Stimulator 10 includes a second resilient and generally cylindrical
end region 18 sized for receipt in an anal or vaginal cavity.
Second end region 18 includes a second bulbous distal end 20 and a
second proximal base end generally near portion 22. This bulbous
distal end 20 is connected via a reduced diameter neck portion or
neck 24 between the bulbous end 20 and the second proximal base end
22. The second end region includes the bulbous element, the neck
and the base end 22. Neck 24 enables bulbous end region 20 to flex
thereat. Bulbous end 20 is adapted to permit the muscle groups of
one of the partners using the stimulator to hold the second end in
place during use. An alternative construct of the invention
eliminates the neck and bulbous nature of second end 18.
Stimulator 10 includes a base 30 connected intermediate first
proximal base end 16 and second proximal base end 22. First end
region 12 and second end region 18 extend upwards from base 30 and
forms a truncated, substantially U-shape stimulator. The U-shape is
truncated since the second end region 18 is smaller in length then
the first end region 12. Hence one of the legs of the U-shaped
stimulator is truncated or shorter compared to the other leg. The
U-shaped stimulator has a curved region 33. The U-shape of
stimulator 10 may also be considered to be an L-shape due to the
truncated nature of the bulbous end 18. The L-shape is rotated such
that the intersection between the upper leg of the L-shape and the
base of the L-shape is the location of the suction cup 32.
Reference to a U-shaped stimulator is meant to cover an L-shaped
stimulator herein.
A concave suction element 32 is mounted, attached or formed as part
of the base in curved portion 33 of the truncated U-shape
stimulator. Suction element 32 rises above or is formed on curve 33
of the U-shaped stimulator 10. Concave suction element 32 has a
outer rim 34 rising above surface 35 of curve portion 33 of the
truncated U-shape stimulator in the preferred embodiment. Outer rim
34 may be a circle, oval, ellipse, triangle, square, polygon,
rectangle or a diamond shape. The suction element may have a low
rise rim and be primarily formed by a depression in base 30.
Concave suction element 32 has an interior space 36. In one
embodiment (an alternative embodiment), a passageway 38 leads from
the base of interior 36 of suction element 32 and extends outboard
or away from the suction element 32 and exits base 30 opposite
curve portion 33 of the concave U-shape stimulator. Accordingly,
passageway 38 has a first opening at the base of suction element 32
and a second opening on base 30 opposite curve region 33 of the
truncated U-shape.
A removable plug or a vibrating element 40 is sized to fit snugly
within passageway 38 and to extend either fully or partially into
passageway 38 as shown by arrow 41 in FIG. 1A. In order to assist
the user to remove or insert removable plug/vibrator element 40,
base 30 may have a cut-away 50 about the second opening 49 of
passageway 38. One type of small, cylindrical vibratory element is
a MAGIC BULLET vibrator. Passageway 38 may extend at various angles
from suction element 32. Auxiliary passageway 60 (an angled
chamber) is shown in FIG. 1A with a dash-dot-dash line as an
alternative route. Rather than a vertical passage, angled
passageway 60 also works. Passageway 60 has an opening 61 generally
opposite curved portion 33 of truncated U-shaped stimulator 10. A
cut-away 63 may also be provided at opening 61 of chamber 60.
Chamber 60 is sized to receive fully or partially a vibrating
element. The vibratory element may be longer than passageway 38,
60. If the element slightly extends into the bottom of the suction
element bowl 36, removal is easier.
FIG. 1B shows that removable plug 40 or vibrating element 40 has
been partially inserted into passage 38.
In operation, one partner places bulbous distal end 20 in an anal
or vaginal cavity and the first cylindrical end region 12,
preferably having a phallic shape, is inserted into an anal or
vaginal cavity of the other partner.
When removal plug or vibratory unit 40 is inserted into passageway
38, passageway 38 is partially closed. When in use, concave suction
element 32 contacts the skin and erogenous zones of one of the
partners. When suction element 32 (particularly rim 34) is in
contact with skin or other erogenous body zone, and the stimulator
10 moves or rotates due to thrusting or rocking motion of one
partner with respect to the other partner, suction is created and
then released in truncated cavity 38 shown in FIG. 1B. Air is
trapped when suction opening 37 is closed. If open, air is ejected
from the passage. Thereafter upon close contact to the skin or
erogenous zone, the passageway draws air therein enhancing the
suction at element 32. Without the passageway 38, 60, suction is
developed by flexing action of cup 32 on the skin or erogenous
zone. Therefore, the suction element 32 enhances the sexual play of
the users. The degree of suction is controlled by the inserted
location of plug or element 40. The inclusion of a vibratory
element 40 or a removable plug also affects the sexual play of the
users. Cut-away 50 permits the plug to be removed or vibratory unit
to be removed from chamber 38. The predetermined condition of the
suction opening (or suction cup rim) depends upon an open or closed
position with respect to the skin or erogenous zone.
FIG. 1C shows that passageway 38 with at least one step 70 which
may be used to seal the vibratory unit or the removable part
securely in the passageway. Multiple steps may be used. FIG. 1D
shows that passageway 38 is threaded. The steps may provide a
tactile indication of plug/vibrator depth.
FIG. 1E diagrammatically illustrates a one-way valve 50 in the
passageway 38. The valve and valve stem 50 may be similar to the
one-way valve and valve stem used on beach balls and other common
manually inflatable items. The common valve and valve stem 50
extends from the distal end of passage 38. When cap 54 is withdrawn
from the cap seat on the valve stem 56, air may flow out of
passageway 38 due to compression at suction cup end 32, 34. The one
way air valve 50 permits flow of air outbound from passage 38. One
way valve 50 is opened when radial compression is applied to stem
region 56, which compression opens valve 52 in the stem.
Operationally, when the valve cap 54 is withdrawn from the valve
stem seat, air may flow outboard of the passageway 38, but not
inward into the passageway due to the one-way action of valve 52.
When the cap is on the valve stem seat, air flow is generally
prohibited.
FIG. 2 shows a front elevational view of stimulator 10 with cutout
50 in the base 30 and shows the location of exit opening 49 of
passageway 38.
FIG. 3 shows a rear view of stimulator 10.
FIG. 4 is a top view showing stimulator 10 and generally round or
oval rim 34 of suction element 32.
FIG. 5 is a bottom view of stimulator 10 shown through passage
38.
Stimulator 10 may be constructed of a rather rigid material such as
hard plastic, rubber, or the like. However, it is preferable for
stimulator 10 to be constructed of a more compressible or resilient
material, such as soft plastic or a foam material, of the type that
is capable of retaining its shape and rigidity during use, but
which is not so un-bending or inflexible as to be uncomfortable.
Silicone is a good material to use. Also, an outer continuous
covering or coating which is both smooth and slippery over such
material would further enhance the enjoyment of stimulator 10.
Preferably, stimulator 10 is a unitary item wherein the base, the
first end region and the bulbous second end region are all one
piece and all made of the same flexible resilient material.
Finally, it is anticipated that the angles of the legs of the
truncated U-shape, that is, the general angle between the phallic
end and bulbous end, would be in the range of from 60 to 80
degrees, more or less, so as to provide the most comfort during
use, however, such angle may be as sharp as 45 degrees or as great
as 90 degrees in some instances.
Of course, the actual length and diameter of phallic end and
bulbous end can vary as needed depending on the needs of the
partners. In this fashion, it is anticipated that different sizes
of these ends can be offered which correspond with different sizes
of the suction element and the neck portion or region so that
stimulator 10 can conform to the needs and comfort levels of the
intended users. The base at the curved region of the truncated
U-shape may be larger or smaller than shown in relation to the
phallus end and the bulbous end.
The claims appended hereto are meant to cover modifications and
changes within the scope and spirit of the present invention.
